Agreeing with Paul. I too have been caught in the Ebay game.

I will not purchase anything on Ebay any longer unless its a real bargain (which very little is these days) and it's only small value so not much to lose.

I was really pleasently suprised by Amazon the other day when I purchased from one of their private sellers who I found out to be less than scrupulous. I contacted Amazon who refunded my money to my credit card in FULL (unlike Ebay) and began investigating the sellers recent influx of bad ratings.

Surely this proves that Ebay could do more if they actually wanted. Even if they merely copied the Amazon business model.

If anyone asks me about ebay, I simply state what Trading standards quoted me with my Ebay problem: "Buyer Beware".
